Paper Pleasing Ideas

My Monogram Notes

I am always making cards for someone else.  Today, I decided to make myself some monogram note cards to send to a few ladies.  So, I guess, technically, they are not for me anyway...LOL.

 

But, they do have my initial on them!!

These are such cheap cards to make, but they look great.  I got these 8 note cards with envelopes in the $1.50 bin at Michael's, and figured I could jazz them up.  All I did was add the strip of silver CS and red grosgrain ribbon.  I used my Just Rite stamper and Trompe font (All That Scraps) for the initial stamped on vanilla CS.  It was matted onto a black scallop circle and attached to the card with dimensionals. 

The envelope was stamped with the flourish from Baroque Motifs, and the flowers and dots from Thanks X 2.  So simple, when you consider the card is already made for you.  Have fun and happy stamping!!

Cheery Cherry Birthday

 What an absolutely cheery card, hey?  I finally got the Tart and Tangy stamp set from SU and wanted to use it with the Rockabilly DSP.

I used a black base, and added the DSP.  Then I put some black and white layers on the left side.  I tied on the ribbon, and added my image with dimensionals.  It was too plain on the top right, so I added the black and white sentiment panel.  I attached the brads in to jazz it up a bit.

SU had a problem when they made this set - NO SENTIMENTS!  So what is a girl going to do??

  You make your own with the JustRite Stamper available at All That Scraps!!  I used the Trompe and Brayton fonts on a rectangle block.  I colored them with markers to get the lines in different colors.  I then stamped the cherry lightly over the top.  Get it?  " Happy Birthday...With a cherry on top!"

Isn't this a perfect card to welcome the hopefully soon and upcoming season?  I spent the weekend on the back of a snowmobile and had a GREAT time, but it would be nice to see green grass again.  Have fun and happy stamping!!

Another One

This is the third post today - make sure you see them all !!

  I had to make another one, since they are SO EASY!!  Jayden was excited to have his name on this one, untilI took all the gumballs out...hehehe.

I used some retired DSP from the hostess package, Creative License.  Such great colors for boys, and perfect for quick party favors.  If I had some bugs at home, I would have put that in there, but gum had to do it!

I also used the window sheet again, but am making one with just CS and DSP, keep checking back *wink*.

The ribbon is from All That Scraps, as well as the Just Rite stamps.  Those stamps are PERFECT for things like this, since they make it so simple to customize everything.  I used the Brayton Font, and inked it up with not quite navy.  I stamped it and then punched it out with my large oval.  The navy mat was punched with the NEW scallop oval.  I used my crop-a-dile to add the silver eyelet, and the silver cord to tie it on.  Oh, I just love playing with new stuff.  It also helps that my hubby is gone for the weekend, which means I let housework slide for a few days so I can play .  Have fun and happy stamping!!

Paper Pizza

Jayden has pizza day at school today.  Being the weird mom that I am, I thought he could bring a pizza for show and tell...

 

He is LOVING it, and asked if he could keep it.  Well, Since there are black olives on it, and I hate olives, I guess so...LOL.

I made the pizza box using  this template, and used my JustRite Brayton font and rectangle block to create the sentiment.

I stamped it on, traced a circle part way around, and just added the accents by hand.

The pizza was made with my Coluzzle and vanilla CS.  I sponged the edge with caramel and the center with ruby and mustard inks.  I used my punches and various colors of CS for the toppings.

I think this would make a ROCKIN' invitation to a kids pizza party, wouldn't it?  Print the info on the back of the pizza before you cut out the circle and "deliver" the invites yourself.  Have fun and happy stamping!!

Treat Box Tutorial

 

OK, so yesterday I said there was 2 tutorials in the picture.  I really hope you know how to make hot chocolate, cause that is NOT the tutorial...BWAHAHAHAHA!

  Here is a bunch more of the boxes I made.  It only took about 2 hours to make them all - yes FIVE.  The hardest part is cutting the oval, but I took 20+ pictures for my tutorial to make sure it is thoroughly explained for you.  All pictures can be clicked on for a larger view.

You are going to have to click to read more, otherwise, with that many pictures, it would take forever to load.

For the name tags, I used my JustRite Oval stamper, the Small Letter Font, the Brayton Font and a border from the Oval Birthday Stamp Ensemble.  These are available at All That Scraps or JustRite.

Perfect Placecards

I have a BIG Christmas supper here this evening.  I wanted to make something to grace each place setting, but not the traditional way.  So I head down to my craft room, and started stamping.

I made a napkin for each person, and it will go on the plate at the spot where they are to sit. 

This is IMPORTANT - you must use a waterproof ink for this, otherwise when they wipe their face, they would have ink everywhere...hehehe.  I stamped my holly berry, leaves, and poinsettias with Pallette Noir ink.  I then colored them with Sharpies, and added a touch of gold with my Ziggy paint pen.

  Here is my napkin close-up.  I used my JustRite products for personalizing the napkins.  I took my JustRite Harmony Oval block, and added the names with the Trompe and Brayton fonts.  You can get them at at All That Scraps, as well as JustRite Stampers.

I'll try and take a picture after everything is set up on my table - hopefully I won't be too frazzled and forget .  Such an easy way to make an impression, and SO CHEAP, I used $1 store napkins.  Have fun and happy stamping!!
